title: [Convulsions in childhood Shigella gastroenteritis. An evaluation of risk factors].
abstract: Fifty-five patients with the diagnosis of shigella gastroenteritis were studied, 29 (52.7%) of whom had convulsions. Various symptoms and signs were compared between patients with and without convulsions to define risk factors for the development of seizures. To have a younger age and high body temperature were important predisposing factors. Hyponatremia and type of shigella organism were not contributing factors in the development of seizures.
